66 is all the spell pen you would have from furious wand/cloak enchant, and without gemming for it. Unless i'm missing something, then you need 2 spell pen gems to hit 106 which is what I will probably go for if I use the staff.

Assuming you gem the sockets with the same blue gems and a 19 spell damage gem on staff for socket bonuses, as well as 81 spell damage enchant on staff vs. 63 spell damage enchant on mainhand, this is what my numbers show:

It's not a choice of stacking, it's built into all of our pieces. It's not like other classes don't have crit on their gear either, or even gem for it( not suggesting locks gem crit). The fact is this is a destruction topic, and probably should have been labeled that way, and crit is a critical part to destro actually killing something.

not to mention, the MH already has crit on it....

obviously we'd be "stacking" too much crit with the staff, thus making you "not competitive".

I don't like this change. People who thinks rogues are overpowered are terribad.
